“Lord, Blow the Moon Out, Please” by Marjorie Fiddler/Caitlin Pensak

Marjorie Fiddler/Caitlin Pensak (1945, ?); British/German/Swedish. “Sleep comes to me in a dark indigo”  “Bed is too small for my tiredness.”

Bed is too small for my tiredness;
Give me a hillside with trees.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin.
Lord, blow the moon out, please!

Tuck me to sleep in a cradle of dreams;
Sing me a lullaby of leaves,
Tuck a cloud up under my chin.
Lord, blow the moon out, please!
